[PATCH 21/23] nvmet: add context annotation for integrity params in struct nvmet_ns

Nilay Shroff nilay at linux.ibm.com
Sun Nov 8 19:28:26 PST 2026


The nvmet_ns::pi_type and nvmet_ns::metadata_size fields are protected
by nvmet_subsys::lock. Annotate them with __guarded_by(&subsys->lock)
to allow the Clang context analyzer to validate accesses to these fields.

Some request-processing and I/O paths access these fields without
holding subsys->lock. This is safe because the namespace reference held
by the request prevents the integrity parameters from being modified
while I/O is in flight. However, the context analyzer cannot express
this access pattern directly.

Introduce nvmet_ns_pi_type() and nvmet_ns_metadata_size() as inline
helpers annotated with __context_unsafe() to allow these lockless
accesses without triggering context analyzer warnings.

Use these helpers in the namespace identify path, metadata length
calculation, PI capability check, and RDMA signature attribute setup.
